Too little, too late

Cllr David Ward is campaigning for the shopping centre to be built.

Councillor David Ward has described the plans to turn the Broadway site into a community garden as ' Too little, too late."

He said,

" While I welcome this last ditch attempt to put something back into the city centre it is too little , too late. A lot of the businesses in the area have already gone. Frankly, far from greening it, Westfield should be on site, building a shopping centre. I want to know exactly how much Westfield are contributing because the council tax payer has already put £34m into the site."
